Overview

The Delay control implements a waiting period for the caller while some other activity takes place. Use the Delay control if your source code performs a lengthy activity and you want the caller to wait until it's complete. For example, a wait period is needed when waiting for a busy line to be free before re-attempting a transfer.

The Delay control can operate in three modes:

1. Simulated Hold: VBVoice plays a greeting (hold music) to the caller during the wait period. When playing hold music, VBVoice continually plays a short file containing music or a short announcement. This can be replaced with your own phrase.

2. Silent: VBVoice remains silent until the delay is complete.

3. Silent Without Resources: VBVoice remains silent until the delay is complete. Additionally, VBVoice will not attempt to get voice resource for the line, if the line does not already have one.
